Back pain. Do you have it?

Nothing as extreme as that.

Older I get the more it makes itself known. Sleeping in the bed vs couch and flat vs scrunched up seems to start the day better for me.

Sorry for your pain.

Yep! Years ago I ruptured a disc and pinched a nerve in my lower back so it gives me fits from time to time. I hate it when I go to take out the garbage or something and it "goes out" on me. I then walk around all ****-eyed, you know bent over and sideways for a week or so.

I've dropped a few inches around the mid-section and work on core strength making it much more bearable.

I do have to agree with Da Klugs.

Just a word of caution if anyone has back pain. Always worth it to have it checked out as soon as possible.

I know somebody who thought his severe, intermittant back pain was due to a slipped disk (he used to lift weights quite a bit). When he finally saw the doctor, they performed several scans (CAT and MRI) and found that the pain was due to kidney cancer - spread to the spine. So, better to get it looked at sooner rather than later.

Hope that helps.

had a few ruptured discs about 10 years ago. i did not need fusing they just went in and removed the jelly from the donut so to speak. no problems not returned to 100% but close enough i had no pain. back in July i got hurt again ruptured another disc i don't want to do surgery again mostly because they want to fuse my the vertebrae this time. so now i deal with the pain the best i can drugs help a little but some times not enough.
